The Outerhaven writes: A tribute to classic arcade racing games like Ridge Racer, Daytona USA, and OutRun 2006. Discover the titles that defined the genre—and why they still matter.
Pretty much anything Sega was my go to in the arcade. Sega Super GT (scud race), rad mobile, power drift, indy 500, gp rider, 18 wheeler and of course DAYTONAAAAA
thought they were talking about burnout legends on the psp the best racing game on the console tbh.

Hironobu Sakaguchi and Koji Igarashi discuss how the Japanese gaming scene turned sour, and how it's since revived.
NES to PS2 was really the golden age for Japanese games. Once the 360 and PS3 came around western developers surpassed what the Japanese were doing.
I really don’t understand how in a single generation almost all Japanese developers couldn’t make anything as stand out as they did in the PS1 and PS2 eras.

"Koji Igarashi worked on many incredible Metroidvanias so allow me to discuss how his latest offering lives up to his most iconic game." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Vote for either Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄
SOTN for sure. Both are really great games but SOTN just has an incredible OST that sets it a level above! The music immerses you in it's world and sets the emotional tone of the entire experience. I found Bloodstained's sound track, and therefore world, mostly forgettable by comparison. Will say the opening title screen music in Bloodstained is awesome though.
The last stage for bloodstained was pure trash. The oversized world was just jarring to get through.
SOTN is one of the best games of all time
